#monsta x fan theory

[hyungwonalong]

Hey guys welcome to my blog!! My name is Sti and i love kpop! I stan Monsta X,Stray kids,NCT 127 and NCT Dream!! On this account i’m going to be posting about my Kpop MV theories and any other thoughts and opinions i may have on these matters!!

[cowboymantis]

It's really interesting how Kingdom and E'Last have like... The same loved spot in my heart as favourite groups. Like, sure I have multiple favourite groups but around those my brain is always revolving around the most when it comes to the concepts and theories and the designs and everything.

They're just really special to me and have concepts like, imo, no other group. Obviously, a lot of groups have darker/mysterious concepts but especially Kingdom just really GOT ME with the lore. The theories. The characters. The settings. The outfits.

And then E'Last, especially Tears of Chaos, Dark Dream and Creature had such a great mysterious vibe and the outfits are just top tier.

Also, both bands I discovered randomly on YouTube, which the further I got into kpop, got less and less frequent because I end up hearing about a group a couple of times before checking them out. For Kingdom, when Excalibur came out and for E'Last, Tears of Chaos. It just peaked my interest immediately, the title, the thumbnail and when watching them I was immediately sold and got sucked into the fandom. :'D

And whenever one of the bands has a comeback I come back to obsessing over everything around it as in talking a lot about them to friends, looking for new content, listening to the music all day, making theories (more just for Kingdom but hsjshd)... It's like when a show you love airs a new episode in a way. But also, when one band has a comeback I will eventually also go back to focusing on the respective other one all over again and then it will jump around in my head between them.

Doesn't help that currently I am absolutely obsessed with Tokusatsu which won't stop anytime soon, and still are so much into Yakuza so all of those 4 things are rotating in my brain 24/7 help .

At the same time I'm also sad both Kingdom and E'Last don't get NEARLY the fame and hype they deserve. But it seems that they're happy (which I hope is also that way) and that's what matters.

OH, two other groups I'd place very high around a similar area are definitely A.C.E, P1Harmony and Golden Child. They're all also so dear to me with both their content outside of music videos and the music itself while being way too underrated for how insanely good they are!

I'm almost scared to say this but this isn't Twitter where stans see everything as it being personal- but P1Harmony have been so far pretty much the only band where I love every song in albums. I'm sure this isn't an unpopular opinion because obviously you can't love every song but still. But I just can't stand songs that are cheesy and/or fan-servicey (which I think. Is probably bc I'm aroace and it just makes me uncomfortable and cringe- but still,) they're just the worst. BUT if the song is catchy enough I will still love it, just ignoring the lyrics is something I need to get better at :'D Kingdom's Warning is a good example of a song having lyrics that make me physically cringe but I jam out to this song because it's such a bop. So yeah.

I mean, Monsta X is one of my all time favs and they're so full of cheesy songs and fanservice, so I think somewhere along the road my resistance went up. :'D

Even after some years, kpop fans are still wild to me. Like, the amount of delusions and elitism going on seem to be more than for any other fandom, but that's not really a fun topic to talk about. But man, watching live performances can be painful with how loud everyone's screaming their lungs out which alone is enough for me to never go on a kpop concert, even though I'd love to. But the only non-metal concert I ever went to was already hell when it came to the fans just screeching and making it completely unable to understand what the singer is even singing. So yeah, I uh, I'll stick to metal concerts,,,

But!! Even though I am not the biggest fan normally of watching live performances, I still really love watching them for specific groups, coming back to Kingdom and E'Last because those were kinda the main focus before I got sidetracked (and I would just add more and more I feel like fhkgfg), I love their lives and choreographies in general so so so much. They are very, dare I say it, aesthetic and just fascinating to look at. Plus, both bands are so full of visuals it's insane.

I also noticed both Kingdom and E'Last often have some kind of ropes and cloth in the performances, which is a thing I really love because it's just really pleasing to look at, especially if they dance with it in such a smooth way. (Gah, like that one amazing Stray Kids Side Effects performance)

Both also have those beautiful and mysterious settings, I especially love the misty forests.

And also, AMAZING instrumentals/intros! 🙏

I'm just gonna. Go ahead and post some examples of parallels I love and think it's so beautiful that both of these bands I have so much brainrot about share so many similarities dfjghjfdg But I am just SO NORMAL!!! ABOUT IT!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Whether it's just same vibe or similar posing it's just a lot of fun.

Gonna put...

E'Last on the left and Kingdom on the right :)

It was a lot of fun just finding so many parallels now when skimming over the E'Last performances with that in mind, because for Kingdom I feel like I've got every frame engraved in my brain because I'm working on a big archive + lore essay about them so like...Yeah my mind at this point is a Kingdom archive help,, Next on the list for that will be E'Last tho soooo...

Also, for the end, a fancy group pose for E'Last and Kingdom :)

Monsta x Find You Mv Theory.

Ok idk if someone already write this theory but hear me out.

Someone say that the main theory is that Hyungwon is re living whatever happened to the other guys but I don't think is that way.

They say that cuz in the teaser we can see HW in a car accident and they say is Kihyun/Jooheon's one but I think is not. I think this is HW actual accident. Cuz in the mv teaser we can appreciate that he crash with another car and In KH/JH case their lose car control.

So I think when he is in the operation bed, either he die or is dying and his soul detaches from his body and that's the water scene were he is just lost. And his watch which at the beginning was a normal one then get the power of time/space travel.

So In My mind is about Hyungwon traveling between dimensions trying to find the one were all of them are together and happy, trying to find his dimension. He is trying to find them again.

[philosopher-of-fandoms-switched]

Same, kings really are that powerful 😭 for those that don’t understand, Canada is being hit with huge ice storms and so provinces like Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia are having snow days. No school happened today, yay!

HYUNGWONALONG //TW!!

hii everyone my names Sti! I’m a huge Monsta X fan and have come onto this app to share my thoughts,theories and opinions on many different Korean Pop groups and i may dabble in a few Japanese Pop groups.

Growing up living with my uncle i always felt left out from my peers. That’s until at the age of 11 i first discovered Korean Pop. I immediately felt comfort in this form of music. I felt a sense of belonging and a sense of security i never felt before. I finally felt like i was part of something for the first time in my life. This motivated me to excel in school shocking all my peers. Soon i rocketed to popularity. But i stayed humble. I remembered my roots and where i started. And i stuck to my morals.

Because of this incident i am now a well loved member of my local community and run a lot of activities within my community. I want to create a safe place for those around me. Like i desperately wanted when i was so alone.

However i have quit my job as of recently as i believe i can achieve so much more with my life. I have so much more potential than anyone else realises. I am me. I am Sti. I’m strong,beautiful,smart,lovely and loved.

I know one day everyone will see my true potential and i’m willing to do whatever it takes till they realise.

Anyways this is Sticka Sticker Sti Signing away

I wish you all a good day

Genre : Angst , AU

lead characters : monsta x

Status : on going

It was just a small village , with a grey sky covering it in every season . there is not much about , except of corruption spreading around ruining elderlies life . There was a new system that had been in place since last year , instead this village is made into hell, it's hard to live in this place, houses build up on top of each other like their inhabitants when they meet at the government gate to get a piece of bread, and whoever has an electric light in his house is lucky, the situation of the villagers has worsened by pressing them to follow their meaningless orders thinking that pushing them to the edge would make them obedient , but if that did not work on the old man of that place , it would never be on it heroes . As the sky reflected it gloominess , police disturbed two old man trying to make their living , pushing them aggressively and trying to take away their goods. “ All right , all right cut it off get away from them “ a voice came from the back mad the men turn . 3 young boys came in the scene pushing the police away from the villagers , a tall muscular pointed his hand as a gun to the police “ back off okay ? they did nothing wrong , now leave” he , who was named Shonwu. smirked when the police took a step back . “ Gentlemen , I think you are in the wrong side of our village” said the second tall guy with a black hair pushed to the side showing his beautiful visual , he was walking with slow steps holding a small purple flower to his soft skin , the man in suit raised his heavy gun to him , but got blocked “ Woa woa woa , take it easy , bad boy “ Jooheon with a brownish hair held the nozzle of the gun to his forehead and he glared at the one who is carrying it , letting out a small growl followed by a little chuckle “ lets make a mess in front of our Citizens shall we ?” and he walked out like it was nothing “ you’re gonna regret standing in our face rebellious “ the other police officer said while the flower boy put it in his pocket “ believe me , we won’t “ said Huyngwon with the husky voice of his. And the police left , another small victory for the champions of the village , facing every decision from the new system , there was seven young men who stand tall and fight , even thought they knew that one day everything , whether in a good or a bad way , it will be over .

  Under a small bridge , the rest of the boys gathered chattering .A good looking one with bunny ears and sharp jaw set down on the left corner  talking to the other one with a brownish hair pushed to the back and a loose grey shirt. “Hey Wonho hyung” Minhyuk throw a tiny rock , striking his hyung forhead “Oo the bunny is angry now” said Minhyuk with a small evil laugh . “you really enjoy annoying people don’t you “ Huyngwon high fived him when he arrived but then Minhyuk jumped on Jooheon , to tease him of course “ jooheonie~ , I missed you “ poking his deep dimple . “ yea , yea I did too now hyung stop it”. It’s a usual sight  , all seven gathered , laughter echoed don there ,each heart relieved that the other is still beating .”Huyngwon” everyone stand on their foot when they heard the father calling his son , eyes were wandering including huyngwon dark ones “ dad I-“ a red mark printed on Huyngwon cheeks after a slap that shut him up , he licked his soft lips trying to control  anger and tears on the same time and kept his sight to the ground.  Kihyun stopped Wonho who was going to through a fist out of frustration .”I want you home , NOW!” the father said before he walk away and leaving behind only the sound of the running river. “Huyngwon-ah..” Minhyuk small voice called ,filled with concern “I’m fine” He showed his brother a sad smile and left with heaviness . Minhyuk took quick steps when Changkyun stepped in front of him “Hyung ! where are you going “ “ I gotta follow him , I can’t just leave him !!” the younger one held him tightly “ no you can’t it will be dangerous they might caught you , you can’t go !”” I can’t just leave him” he shook Changkyun grib off  , Wonho joined Minhyuk “ I’m worried about him , his father works with the new system , he might hurt him” “Huyng..” Minhyuk meet the maknae eyes  they looked in pain , and so his but he still managed to show him a smile to make him calm “I’m gonna be fine little one” he said while stroking his hair softly .” Only minhyuk will go!” they all turned when jooheon started to talk “ changkyun is right is dangerous , dangerous if all of us went there , they might set us a trap . Minhyuk is gonna be fine “ their eyes met “ I believe in his decisions”  Minhyuk nodded and took off , he did not even look back to see His little brother's eyes filled with worried  “you three , go down to the village , keep an eye on the old people and see if there was soldiers bothering them , you know your jobs “ Shonwu pointed out “ me and jooheon got something else to do “ and this is how they separated from each other .

“Huyngwon-ah!” Minhyuk loud but somehow trembling voice called out , he could here the echo repeating him the almost destroyed house , glass is shattered all over the place and doorways without a door . He kept looking and finally saw him in a door less room with nothing inside but the sunlight on huyngwon loosen body setting on the floor with a full rough material head mask that only show his glittery eyes . “Huyngwon! Are you okay , what happened ?!” minhyuk touched his face when he kneeled down to him but Huyngwon kept his silence , they both felt uneasy “Why are you wearing this ? take it off” Minhyuk quietly said , but the other one stopped him from pulling the mask , he tried again , but he kept pushing “ stop it Minhyuk I’m fine “ “no you are not , take that mask off you are making me worried ! what are you hiding?!” “I said stop!!””YA CHAE HUYNGWON!!”Mimhyuk voice sharp as knife and redness is the color of his ears. Huyngwon stared and finally gave up, and let his friend reveal his face , puffy left eyes and purpled bruises , dired blood on the cornerof his mouth , the sight of his best friend made him speechless . Angier spreading in his veins and a million thoughts filled his mind he could feel his chest burning. Minhuyk clinched his teeth “who did this?…tell me””…” “was it your dad ? his men ?” “Minhyuk don’t-“ “he is not gonna get away from this , believe me he will not “ “minhyuk ..i just –“ Huyngwon whispered ,mimhyuk couldn’t hear him with anger blinding him , running out to take revenge for his friend who wanted something else “ I just..want you to stay.. I need you..”.

Minhyuk lips were chopped out from biting , he covered him self with his hoodie and made his way to somewhere when a familiar deep voice called “Huyng !!” “ Changkyun ? ,why are you here ? where are the rest ?” “wonho is over there , and Kihyun went to the other side ‘ “are you crazy why are you wandering alone?!, what if you get caught ?! Huh! Why don’t you ever listened ?!! I-“ “I was worried about you !” they exchange look filled with troubled emotions , minhyuk breathed his frustration out heavily “ i-Im sorry , it’s just that ..-“”Hyung its fine , don’t be,I just wanted to protect you “ the older nodded with silence “okay then come with me “ “ where are you guys going ?” Wonho asked from behind while he is coming to their way “ you’ll see”.

The warehouse smelled like dust and dead animal , minhyuk pulled two big silver , nameless tanks out “ what that for?” Wonho asked with a questionable look , Changkyun had the same question mark with his eyebrows frowned “get ready boys , we are taking this village down”.

you’re jealous | monsta x ot7 reactions

maybe some smut ;)

shownu | son hyunwoo

shownu has been going on variety shows to promote the group’s latest comeback and the female hosts and guests always comment on his looks

it doesn’t bother you usually, you know he’s handsome and love when he gets all flustered from the attention, but you don’t like how the hosts feel up his arms and ogle him when he performs a part of the choreo

they continue to dote on him and jealousy crawls up your throat and takes over your body as you wait for shownu to come home

he comes home earlier than usual and you would be happy if the images of women touching up his arms weren’t flashing in your mind, clouding your vision

he greets you with a kiss to the cheek and your arms are crossed and you’re pouting, still quiet

only when he’s setting down his stuff does he ask what’s wrong giving you time to look away from his sweaty chiseled chest and focus on your anger

“i saw the show today.” a beat of silence

“oh? was it fun?” he was almost done now as he grew closer to you

“it would’ve been if those women weren’t touching you up...” shownu found it adorable when you were jealous so he couldn’t help but put his arms around your waist and pull your back to his chest, resting his head on your shoulders. you could feel his muscles against you, was he not wearing a shirt any more? it didn’t matter you were angry

“i told them to stop but they cut that out of the show...” your anger subsided, of course he did. you turned in his arms then, properly looking him in the eyes for the first time today.

“good.”

“you’re cute when you’re jealous,” he kissed your nose and you blushed, for a second he thought he outta make you jealous more often but he couldn’t bare even trying to give anyone that kind of attention when he had you. “let me make it up to you,” he started kissing your lips then, his hands roaming down your body as the found your ass and lifted you up, instinctively your legs went around his waist

he was sweaty so u offered to shower with him to save water of course, he thanked you for that with his actions...

wonho | shin hoseok

wonho was performing WITH YOU and you couldn’t help but feel jealous as the beautiful female dancer moved in synch with him and his hands traced her body

you rarely got jealous, he did that enough for both of you, but you couldn’t help it when fans were saying how good they looked together and of course they didn’t know he was already taken

the tweets, instagram posts, even tiktoks of them together consumed you and you finally came to your breaking point when wonho came home from the music show

“enough hoseok i can’t take it any more!”

“what’s wrong?” he had never seen you so upset, a mix of frustration and sadness adorned your face

“you and your dancer, everywhere i look online i just see you two together and i know it’s not real but when everyone’s telling you they would be good together i-“

“baby they don’t know what’s real and what’s for the performance, at the end of the day i came home to you and love you, i don’t even have her number on my phone much less have her saved as my lock screen like i do you,” wonho grinned and you felt the anxiety leave your body slowly. he always knew how to calm me down and when he realized you weren’t as mad he opened his arms for a hug which you fell into with a small pout still on your face

“can i make it up to my baby?” you didn’t know what he had in mind and you certainly didn’t expect being handcuffed to your bed frame screaming his name as he ate you out until you came...three times

kihyun

kihyun wasn’t naturally flirty, just too kind to know he could be perceived as flirty so when a girl trips in front of him and he helps her up like the gentlemen he is she gets the wrong idea and starts flirting with him...in front of you

you let it go on as he obliviously responds to her intrusive questions, you were grateful she didn’t recognize him with his mask and beanie on but you still felt your possessiveness rearing it’s ugly head

“we need to get going honey,” you cut in, having had enough of this girl just when she’s about to ask YOUR boyfriend for his number and she stutters and apologizes, you just mutter an okay as you grab kihyun’s hand and walk away

kihyun laughs as he catches up to you

“aww someone got jealous.”

“not jealous just annoyed, how could you not tell she was flirting?” you frowned at him and he smirked, oh no he’s gonna tease the hell out of you now

“i can only tell when you flirt with me, but what if i was flirting with her? would you get mad? and if i fucked her?” he whispered the last part, since you were still very much in public.

“kihyun,” you groaned as his hold on your hand tightened. you knew where this was going, knew exactly what this tone in his voice would lead to. but honestly you didn’t care, not when you were just as territorial as him and wanted to feel like his in the most physical way.

“would you beg for me back?” kihyun, pulled you flush against him and whispered into your ear and you couldn’t help but hold onto his shoulder for strength, he knew what he did to you.

“you know i would.”

“you look so pretty when you beg, maybe i’ll go get her number.” you were whining at this point, still very much in public, he drove you crazy.

“fuck me please kihyun.” and that’s all it took before you were rushing to the nearest bathroom like a bunch of horny teenagers, and kihyun was making you cry and scream his name.

minhyuk

being an mc on a music show meant he interacted with lots of idols and you always anticipated the influx of delusional fans assuming he’s dating any girl idol he has any interaction with but one day is different from the others

he’s doing his usual mc duties but this kpop idol is staring at him intensely, even as going as far as telling him he’s handsome

she’s much older but it doesn’t stop the influx of tweets and comments

minhyuk is handsome you know that, anyone with eyesight can see that so when he comes home you can’t help but be grumpy

you can’t be mad at him you know that but your feelings are your feelings

he knows as soon as he’s home what’s making you grumpy

“babe i can’t help it!”

“ i know it’s just-why are you so handsome??? cover your face or something argh” you’re not really angry at him and he knows that as he kisses your face until the pout drops from your lips and he kisses you

you’re still feeling annoyed so you make it a point to show minhyuk just how much he is yours as you are his, making him scream your name all night long

hyungwon

like kihyun he doesn’t realize people assume he’s flirting when he’s kind just because he’s handsome

you’re out with him in vacation in greece and hyungwon is helping these japanese tourists with directions because he overhears them being confused about the hotel names, they assume he’s flirting with them since they don’t see you standing, waiting for him under the shade of the store front

hyungwon politely declines their offer to join him back at their hotel and you unfortunately hear the entire conversation, not once did he mention you

you scoff and walk off as he walks back to you, his eyebrows raising in shock

“woah what’s wrong?” he catches up to you with ease, damn his long legs.

“why don’t you go ask your new friends since i don’t exist?” you glare at him and he smirks, the handsome fucker smirks

“jealous babe?”

“why would i be, not like i’m your girlfriend or anything.” you grumble and he laughs at how you’re the angriest he’s seen you in a while. the last time you were this angry it was at netizens for attacking him over some dumb thing.

“i didn’t tell them because they could have recognized me and that wouldn’t have been good for anyone,” that made a lot of sense, maybe you had reacted too strongly. you might just be angry about other people flirting with what’s yours more than anything.

“you’re hot when you’re angry though, maybe i should do that more often.” you stopped in your tracks and narrowed your eyes even more at him, you pulled him into the side alley, pushing him against the building side.

“you won’t.” you shut up with a kiss and he was smirking into your kiss, his hands roaming down your body and you had to pull away and remind yourself you were not in your hotel room. after that you both stumbled and practically ran back to your hotel.

jooheon

jooheon is pretty well known for his unabashed displays of aegyo and so when he goes on a variety show it’s not surprising he’s asked to do it

unfortunately this show is hosted by a female idol and her reaction sends netizens into delusional theories that the two are surely dating

you’re so upset by the rumors and allegations that you start to believe them so when jooheon sees you two days after the rumors started you’re crying at your place

he’s so worried he pulls you to him automatically and asks repeatedly what happened and what’s wrong, not even thinking for a second it could be related to the rumors

finally you manage to stop crying and get out, “it’s okay if you love her too if she makes you happier i’ll understand.”

“what the hell are you talking about?” jooheon is so dumbfounded by your statement he stops soothing you and this makes you go back to crying

“you and that kpop idol on the variety show it’s all over the internet.”

“you idiot i would never date much less love anyone other than you.” you just stop crying at look at him through your tears, which you furiously wipe away again and see the sincerity on his face.

“oh.”

“yes oh i can’t believe you even believed them.” jooheon scoffs and gets off the bed you were both sat on, and then out of nowhere he picks you up and takes you to the bathroom

“we’re taking a bath so my baby can feel better,” the relaxing bath turns to a little more when he can’t but show how much he missed you the past couple days and just how much he loves you more than anyone else

I.M | im changkyun

people expected changkyun to be the bad bitch in your relationship, he had sharp features, a deep voice, piercings, and an amazing body but everyone who knew you both knew you were the one who would slice a bitch

especially if a random girl is trying to dance on your man in the one nightclub everyone knows he’s taken in, this nightclub had cut some kind of nondisclosure deal with the idols and their companies but clearly this girl was new, however, that didn’t mean you would hold back

changkyun winced as she started to dance on him and backed away, but she was persistent as she turned around and tried again, he waved his hand in front of her, clearly disinterested

you didn’t want to step in but as you monitored the situation where you danced with jooheon you could tell changkyun was struggling to remain polite

but you didn’t have a reputation to maintain and you certainly weren’t as calm and collected as your boyfriend

in a couple seconds you were wedging yourself between her and your boyfriend

“i’d back away sweetie,” you painted on your best fake smile and changkyun let out a sigh of relief.

“who are you?” her voice and tone was unpleasant, it was all too unpleasant especially when you were trying your best not to break her

“i’m his girlfriend,”

“let’s let him pick,” she shoved you away and stepped closer to changkyun, and that’s when you know you’re about to end up at the police station...again

changkyun stops you by grabbing your waist and hauling you over his shoulder as you’re lunging for her hair

shownu appears out of nowhere and asks the girl to kindly fuck off in the way shownu just knows how to do

when you’re outside and the driver has pulled up to the club, changkyun sets you down, he looks partially amused but mostly concerned

he knows you hate it when other people flirt with him just like he has to stop himself from breaking the jaw of any guy who dances on you at the club

he pushes the hair out of your face and looks at you fondly, you just nod at him to let him know you’re okay, too lost in his eyes to find words at the moment

and then the driver is opening the door for you and you both shuffle into the very back row of the minivan

changkyun presses a kiss to your temple, and you lean into his side

“you’re so fucking sexy when you get like that, i know i shouldn’t encourage it but fuck,” changkyun whispers into your hair and you shiver as his deep voice sends chills through you, you let your hand travel from its place on his lap to where the leather of his pants is becoming strained

“don’t.” he hisses and you aren’t in the obedient mood as you look him straight in the eyes and continue your torture

you estimate you have about thirty mins to go to get home, the privacy screen between the driver and the back of the car won’t muffle all the sound of you both but you can at least remind changkyun who he belongs to

so when you’re done making him suffer in his leather pants, you unzip them and he’s hissing and grabbing your hand

“fuck babe,” you just smirk at him and then spit in your hand. changkyun groans and throws his head back against the headrest, soon enough you’re leaning down and taking him into your mouth and he’s whining your name in between strings of curses. you manage to finish him off before you even get home.

changkyun gets back at you and you’re sure the entire apartment complex knows his name now

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION

[xe-company]

❝ SHH! I’M IN A SECRET RELATIONSHIP is the second full album for soloist BABY. After a year and a few months hiatus from her first full album, LOVE LETTER, and mini Asia tour, THE DEAR DIARY TOUR, the fans were excited for the soloist to begin another era. The release date was officially announced to be APRIL 2ND, 2023. The concept was similar to the previous era where she touched on the topic of love and relationships but this one has a more upbeat but still a chill sound with a pop and R&B rhythm. With this album came a lot of theories about who the songs were about once again. With this era came an international tour, THE BEDROOM TOUR, that soon was renamed to THE SLEEPOVER TOUR. ❞

CHECKERS I HAD THE MOST BATSHIT INSANE DREAM ABOUT MONSTA X EVER. so for some reason jooheon was AT MY HOUSE. like he was just hanging out on my couch. and there were some strangers there too for some reason but that doesnt matter. anyway i found out that love was actually a song abt incest according to some people so i went up to him and asked him "bro is this true??? why is your song about incest" BUT HE WAS BEING AN ASSHOLE TO ME, HE LITERALLY SAID SOMETHING RACIST TO ME ABOUT ME BEING A MEXICAN AND I JUST SAT THERE LIKE "???? WHAT THE FUCK JOOHEON." i started getting mad at him so we just kept arguing and insulting each other, i was pissed, but i was also talking to my parents because they were in the next room asking me something (i talked to jooheon in english and to my parents in spanish) and then i realized he could understand what i was saying to my parents and i was like ????? im pretty sure jooheon doesnt speak spanish so how does he know what im saying??? i called him out on it and he started acting weird and i got an idea. i asked him to say something in korean and he like froze. and thats when it hit me. you are NOT jooheon, you're just some bitch who looks exactly like him AND THE GUY ESCAPED WHEN I SAID THAT. turns out that the actual jooheon was at my aunt's place (which is right next to mine) and i met up with him and told him everything that happened and he was like damn thats crazy.

CRYINGGGGGGGGG THAT PLOT TWIST AT THE END.....I can't believe the least shocking thing abt this whole story is the theory that love is a song abt incest. This was like one of those episodes where someone gets an evil clone and they wreck the og character's life. Also I love that jooheon just went to ur aunt's house instead of urs like he was THIS close )( to going into the house of a fan and he missed. Smh at dream jooheon. But at least this time it wasn't changkyun being mean to u in ur dreams
